民數記 3
1 上主在西乃山上與梅瑟交談的時候，亞郎和梅瑟的後裔如下：
These also were the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day that the Lord spake with Moses in mount Sinai.
2 亞郎兒子的名字是：長子納達布、阿彼胡、厄肋阿匝爾和依塔瑪爾：
So these are the names of the sonnes of Aaron, Nadab the first borne, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
3 這是亞郎兒子的名字，他們都是受傅的司祭，受祝聖盡司祭之職。
These are the names of the sonnes of Aaron the anoynted Priests, whom Moses did consecrate to minister in the Priests office.
4 納達布和阿彼胡在西乃曠野於上主面前獻了凡火，立即死於上主面前，沒有留下兒子；只有厄肋阿匝爾和依塔瑪爾，在他們父親亞郎面前執行司祭的職務。
And Nadab and Abihu died before the Lord, when they offred strange fire before the Lord in the wildernesse of Sinai, and had no children: but Eleazar and Ithamar serued in ye Priestes office in the sight of Aaron their father.
5 上主訓示梅瑟說：「
Then the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
6 叫肋未支派前來，站在亞郎司祭面前，協助他服務。
Bring the tribe of Leui, and set the before Aaron the Priest that they may serue him,
7 他們應代亞郎和全會眾，在會眾前盡應盡的義務，在會幕內服役，
And take the charge with him, euen the charge of the whole Congregation before the Tabernacle of the Congregation to doe the seruice of the Tabernacle.
8 管理會幕內的一切器具，代以色列子民盡應盡之職，在會幕內服役。
They shall also keepe all the instruments of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and haue the charge of the children of Israel to doe the seruice of the Tabernacle.
9 你應將肋未人全交給亞郎和他的兒子，代以色列子民作亞郎的侍役；
And thou shalt giue the Leuites vnto Aaron and to his sonnes: for they are giuen him freely from among the children of Israel.
10 你要委任亞郎和他的兒子執行司祭的職務；俗人擅自走近，應處死刑。」
And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sonnes to execute their Priestes office: and the stranger that commeth neere, shalbe slayne.
11 上主訓示梅瑟說：「
Also the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
12 看，我由以色列子民中揀選了肋未人，以代替以色列子民中一切頭胎的長子，所以肋未人應歸於我，
Beholde, I haue euen taken the Leuites from among the childre of Israel: for al the first borne that openeth the matrice among the children of Israel, and the Leuites shalbe mine,
13 因為凡首生的，都是我的；自我在埃及國擊殺了一切首生之日起，凡以色列首生的，無論是人或是獸，都應祝聖歸我，屬於我：我是上主。」
Because all the first borne are mine: for the same day, that I smote all the first borne in the land of Egypt, I sanctified vnto me all the first borne in Israel, both man and beast: mine they shalbe: I am the Lord.
14 上主在西乃曠野訓示梅瑟說：「
Moreouer, the Lord spake vnto Moses in the wildernesse of Sinai, saying,
15 你應依照肋未人的宗族和家系，統計肋未的子孫，由一月以上，所有的男性都應登記。」
Nomber the children of Leui after the houses of their fathers, in their families: euery male from a moneth olde and aboue shalt thou nomber.
16 於是梅瑟就照上主吩咐的命令，統計了他們。
Then Moses nombred them according to the word of the Lord, as he was commanded.
17 肋未兒子的名字是：革爾雄、刻哈特和默辣黎。
And these are the sonnes of Leui by their names, Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.

39 梅瑟和亞郎照上主的命令，統計了所有的肋未人，按家族凡一月以上的男性都統計了，共計二萬二千人。
The wholesumme of ye Leuites, which Moses and Aaron nombred at the commandement of the Lord throughout their families, euen al the males from a moneth olde and aboue, was two and twentie thousand.
40 此後，上主又對梅瑟說：「以色列子民，凡一月以上首生的男性都要統計，登記他們的姓名；
And the Lord said vnto Moses, Nomber all the first borne that are Males among the children of Israel, from a moneth old and aboue, and take the nomber of their names.
41 應將肋未人獻於我，我是上主，以代替以色列子民中所有的長子；又將肋未人的牲畜獻於我，以代替以色列子民中一切頭胎的牲畜。」
And thou shalt take ye Leuites to me for all the first borne of the children of Israel (I am the Lord) and the cattell of the Leuites for all the first borne of the cattell of the children of Israel.
42 梅瑟便照上主所吩咐的，統計了以色列子民中所有的長子，
And Moses nombred, as the Lord commanded him, all the first borne of the children of Israel.
43 凡一月以上的頭胎男兒，依名統計了，共計二萬二千二百七十三人。
And all the first borne males rehearsed by name (from a moneth olde and aboue) according to their nomber were two and twentie thousand, two hundreth seuentie and three.
44 上主訓示梅瑟說：「
And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
45 你要以肋未人替代以色列子民中所有的長子，以肋未人的牲畜替代他們的頭胎牲畜；肋未人應屬於我：我是上主。
Take the Leuites for all the first borne of the children of Israel, and the cattell of the Leuites for their cattel, and the Leuites shalbe mine, (I am the Lord)
46 至於那超過肋未人數目，而應贖回的二百七十三個以色列子民的長子，
And for the redeeming of the two hundreth seuentie and three, (which are moe then the Leuites) of the first borne of the children of of Israel,
47 為每一個，應照聖所的「協刻耳，」徵收五個「協刻耳，」──一「協刻耳，」合二十「革辣；」──
Thou shalt also take fiue shekels for euery person: after the weight of the Sanctuarie shalt thou take it: ye shekel conteineth twenty gerahs.
48 將這錢交給亞郎和他的兒子，作為超額人數的贖價。」
And thou shalt giue the money, wherwith the odde nomber of them is redeemed, vnto Aaron and to his sonnes.
49 梅瑟就為那超過肋未人數而應贖回的人，徵收了贖金。
Thus Moses tooke the redemption of the that were redeemed, being more then the Leuites:
50 由以色列民的長子所徵收的銀子，依聖所的「協刻耳，」共計一千三百六十五「協刻耳。」
Of the first borne of the children of Israel tooke he the mony: eue a thousand three hundreth three score and fiue shekels after the shekel of the Sanctuarie.
51 梅瑟依照上主的命令，將這贖金交給了亞郎和他的兒子，全照上主吩咐梅瑟的。
And Moses gaue the money of them that were redeemed, vnto Aaron and to his sonnes according to the word of the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
